| Breeder Suggestions in Dallas, TX? Hi! I'm fairly new to YT. I've been busy and haven't been able to log onto YT for a while. Now that I'm back, I'm very serious about buying a yorkie! No more pet stores for me! I've learned the harsh truth and I think it's time I find a reputable breeder. The thing is, I have no experience whatsoever with breeders. If anybody could suggest some nice Yorkshire terrier breeders, that would be nice . Also, could you please describe your yorkie's personality? I'd love to know how each yorkie differs from another |

| There are always some yorkies in the dog row at Trade Days in McKinney on the weekend before the 3rd Monday of each month. But I have no idea if they are reputable breeders or just back yard breeders. Maybe both? Who knows? Sorry I can't be of more help.

YT 500 Club Member | I live in Dallas but I drove two hours away to get my dog. I'm not even sure if she was a reputable breeder. When I was looking and calling around I didn't find many in Dallas. I hope someone can help you. |

| I live in FtW and drove to Lewisville. I wouldnt recommend a puppy from any of the trade days or first Mondays. Check the YTCA list here. You may have to drive a little further than just Dallas. |

| There is no way I would buy from any of these places. These are BYB's and Puppymill people.

| +1 They are typically brokers that buy from puppymills. They don't care what dogs they use to breed, they only care about producing in volume. You will have absolutely no idea what health problems are in their background that might have been passed down to them.

| Thanks everyone I found a couple of websites but I'm not sure if I should be buying a pup from this website: https://sites.google.com/site/babyyorkies/nursery I'm not sure if this is going off topic, but does it matter if the pup is AKC registered? The AKC registered puppies seem to be a lot more expensive than the breeders who don't mention AKC. Also, what is a reasonable price for a yorkie? I've seen a "teacup" for 3500! I already know about the potential health problems. Sorry if this is going off topic! If it's a problem, I could start a new thread. I just really need help |

| Warning! Please do NOT buy from Texas Teacups!!!! One look at their website is explanation enough! I've seen them mentioned before but they deserve a lot more focus than they have received - what they say on their site alone should place them at the TOP of the warning. They boast unethical standards while warning others of unethical standards. Makes my head swim. Have wondered before why there is so little mentioned about them. Are they a member here on YT? |
